Lensmaster Lensography - GypsyOwl's Homepage on Squidoo is NOW OPEN!

The community at Squidoo was so welcoming and helped me to find everything I needed to get started. My website traffic increased by 4 times what it had been at for over two years. All I did differently was spend a little time creating lenses about the things that I am interested in.
I wrote about what I wanted to write about, learned the best way to present my work (from the generosity of experienced lensmasters), and before I knew it, I have 10 lenses published and doing very well! I also have two more in drafting and will release them early next week.
This is my lens preview, there are many more lenses in drafting that will be released soon. Visit often for updates to current lenses and brand new lenses. This may be the last link you will ever need to find GypsyOwl. I have caught the squidoo addiction.
Here are a few of the topics that I started writing about for my squidoo lenses. I found out that it isn't as unusual as I thought to have so many different interests. What ever your interest is, you have something to share about it. You are the expert!
I would love to hear what you think of the lenses I have created so far, please drop by the guest books on each lense and let me know if you enjoyed the lens, if there is something you would like to see added or improved upon.

My Gratitude List

Being Grateful
Being Thankful
These are year round goals of mine.

Today I am grateful for:
Family & Friends
My puppy pet friends
The Sunrise
The sound of birds singing
Warmer weather
Delicious Coffee
The aroma of evergreens
Art
The beautiful Poincettia on my table
The glitter of decorations made for me by dear friends hanging in the window catching the light as it comes over the trees outside.
Music in the distance from a house down the street.
The sound a schoolbus makes just before you hear children giggling and laughing before they climb on.
The warmth of a blanket
The softness of a comfy couch to snuggle up on.
A good book
The relaxing flow of a warm shower
The scent of flannel pajamas
popcorn (yes for breakfast on occasion... LOL)
I am grateful for being content and aware of the blessings in my life.
I am delighted to experience a new day, to discover some new and exciting part of life to be grateful for.

  • Melodie Beattie said:
    "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
  • It turns what we have into enough, and more.
  • It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity....
  • It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events.
  • Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow."
What are you Grateful for?

Living IN JOY,
GypsyOwl
p.s. A friend of my shared this website with me a while back. I would like to share it with you now. The Gratitude Experiement
445,125 people have watched the GoGratitude Flash movie and 149,088 people from all walks of life and from 153 countries have joined the Gratitude Experiment since its launch on Nov 21, 2005.
Gratitude is contagious.

In Loving Memory










Simply,

I want to honor today,
all who
have now left this life.

I want to comfort today,
all who
have been left behind.

I want to remember today,
all who
have made those connections with
other living beings,
that are not easily forgotten.

Connections that are the
woven threads of the joyful blanket of life.

In Loving Memory,
of yours, of mine of ours...

I light a candle for them,
that they may find their way into the
heavens.

I light a candle for us,
that we may find the life force that
caused us to enjoy them so much while they were here.

Moving forward,
Tho' perhaps not yet moving on,
Taking small steps to the joy that they taught us to have,
Tho' they may not be right here to share it with us...
By the nature of our love,
We can be assured that they would want us to live in joy.

Brightest Blessings, Love & Light,
GypsyOwl
